Although mutations in the coding region of a genes can lead tochanges in protein sequence (non-synonomous, nonsense, frameshift)there are plenty of mutations in non-coding regions within thegenome that can alter how gene are expressed. In the scenariosbelow, please indicate what non-coding regions might contain a SNP(Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) mutation, and how this SNPmutation might lead to the given scenario: a. no transcriptionoccurs for a particular gene b. Transcription occurs, but the mRNAis shorter than normal (by 100 bp) c. Transcription occurs, but themRNA is longer than normal (100 bp longer)
